Höpfl presents here the first full-length study of their participation as scholars and pamphleteers in the religio-political controversies of their heroic age (1540-c. 1630). He explores the paradox that the Jesuits political activities were the subject of conspiratorial fantasies and their teachings were often portrayed as subversive and menacing in their practical implications, and yet even their most vehement enemies acknowledged the Jesuits as being among the foremost intellects of their time, and freely cited and appropriated their thought. Höpfl pays particular attention to what Jesuits actually taught concerning doctrines for which they were vilified: tyrannicide; the papal power to depose rulers; the legitimacy of Machiavellian policies; the justifiability of persecuting and breaking faith with heretics. The book sets these teachings in the context of the Jesuit contribution to academic discourse about the state, authority and law, the relationship between the state and Church and politics and religion, and the practice of statecraft. This is an important work of scholarship. - Harro Höpfl is one of the leading historians of ideas writing in Britain today. ISBN 9780521837798 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 833.
